Time entered June, and when the entire Ming Dynasty was mobilized, its war potential fully exploded.
Sun Chuanting and more than 30 generals and Qingqi arrived in Guangning City on the eve of the first day of June, and their arrival would also announce the countdown to the battle to regain Liaodong.
More than 146,000 regular soldiers arrived in Tianjin ten days ago, and then began to board ships and rush to various places in Liaodong.
The auxiliary soldiers who accompanied the army also took sea ships and went to Gaizhou, Kuandian and other places.
One thousand 300-fuel grain transport ships, 300 1,000-fuel grain transport ships, and more than 200 3,000-fuel, 6,000-fuel, and even 9,000-fuel merchant ships built under the supervision of the Royal Horse Supervisor were all recruited to transport troops.
.
For a time, the entire north was turbulent, and under such turbulent conditions, Zhu Youjian met with the commanders of various ministries recruited by him in the Guangning Economic and Strategy Mansion...
During the two years of counterinsurgency, Sun Chuanting, Wu Aheng, Yang Wenyue, Hong Chengchou and others have all tanned a lot and become much stronger.
In the meeting hall of Liaodong Economic Strategy Mansion, there are hundreds of chairs, and those sitting are the generals of each battalion, the commanders of each guard, and the general soldiers of each department.
Sitting in the main seat is the King of Qi, Zhu Youjian, who is the general manager of Fu Liao.
On Zhu Youjian's left and right were Sun Yingyuan, who commanded the three guards to come to the rescue, and Cao Wenzhao, who commanded the third battalion of Duogan.
The two men were like kings on the left and right, guarding Zhu Youjian. The two people on the left and right below Zhu Youjian were Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong administrator, and Yuan Yingtai, one of the chief envoys of Liaodong.
Next to Yuan Yingtai was Sun Chengzong, who was also the chief envoy.
The six people who followed Sun Chengzong were Qi Jin, the commander-in-chief of Liaoyang, Qin Bangping, the commander-in-chief of Shenyang, Qin Liangyu, the first-grade imperial wife, Ma Xianglin, the commander-in-chief of Zunyi, Qin Minping, the commander-in-chief of Zhenjiang, and Qin Banghan, the commander-in-chief of Jinzhou.
As for You Shigong, Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu, Qi Yuanbi and other five people, they stayed in Shenyang, Liaoyang and Zhenjiang.
As for the left, from Xiong Tingbi down, there are the same six rows of chairs, and the people sitting on the chairs are Daning Commander Man Gui, Kaiyuan Commander He Shixian, Liao Aid Commander Sun Chuanting, Liao Commander Hong Chengchou,
Wu Aheng, the commander-in-chief who aided the Liao Dynasty, Yang Wenyue, the commander-in-chief who aided the Liao Dynasty...
It is not difficult to see from the official positions that the imperial court has not yet decided on the official positions of some of them.
The reason is very simple, that is, the Battle of Fu Liao is about to begin. Instead of canonizing him now, it is better to wait until the war is over and Zhu Youjian returns to the capital before canonizing him.
Zhu Youjian knew everyone in the hall very well, but to most of them, Zhu Youjian was very unfamiliar.
Although they all knew that Zhu Youjian defeated the Bayu tribe, established the Daning Three Guards outside the Great Wall, made the Kalaqin tribe surrender through trade, and defeated the rebels of the White Lotus Sect and Wenxiang Sect internally.
But no matter what, these achievements can hardly conceal his age.
In terms of achievements, although Zhu Youjian cannot compare with the generals, don't forget that the achievements that the generals can obtain are all based on his mobilization.
When Zhu Youjian did not mobilize troops to go to the southwest, no one believed that She Chongming would rebel.
However, the fact is that he not only rebelled, but also successfully led the chieftains in the southwest to rebel together.
At present, the rebellion still shows no signs of ending. Perhaps Zhu Xieyuan still needs to be busy in Guinan for a while.
The generals were silent because they didn't know how to speak, and Zhu Youjian, as the general manager of the restoration of Liao, could be said to have set a precedent.
When it comes to the Ming Dynasty clan members, princes, and emperors leading troops, it is not unprecedented. Whether it is King Sai in the early Ming Dynasty or Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Houzhao later, they are all examples.
In terms of age, Zhu Zhanji was taken by Zhu Di to conquer the north and south at the age of thirteen, and at the age of fifteen he personally led the cavalry to pursue the northern captives. This is already considered a representative of a heroic young man.
But in terms of position, Zhu Wenzheng is undoubtedly a role model for the clan.
Zhu Wenzheng was only a teenager when he followed his mother to seek refuge with his uncle Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was so brave and good at fighting that all the generals did not dare to underestimate him.
Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to attack Jiqing (Nanjing), Zhu Wenzheng took the lead and captured Jiqing at the age of twenty. He was promoted to a fellow Privy Council member for his military exploits.
Five years later, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the Privy Council to the Governor's Office and appointed his colleague Zhu Wenzheng as the Governor to control the Chinese and foreign military affairs. At this time, Zhu Wenzheng was only twenty-five years old.
In comparison, when Zhu Di was twenty-five years old, he only commanded more than 10,000 troops and was training in Peiping.
But now, Zhu Wenzheng's record will be surpassed by Zhu Youjian...
"The sand table is here, you can feel free to express your thoughts."
In the meeting hall, Zhu Youjian took the initiative to speak. He did not look down on the generals because of his past achievements, but accepted the advice with an open mind.
To be honest, he didn't think that with his current level, he could decide the direction of such a big battle.
The Ming and Jin sides had 400,000 regular soldiers alone. Such a scale is worthy of being highlighted in the entire military history.
Zhu Youjian previously commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in the south and north respectively, but that was a remote control command, and the actual commanders were Zhu Xieyuan and Xiong Tingbi.
Now it's practical. He can put forward opinions and listen to opinions, but he can't insist on his own way.
Therefore, when he scanned the people in the hall, it was Xiong Tingbi who was the first to speak:
"In my opinion, heavy troops should be placed in Shenyang and divided into two groups."
"All the way to attack Tieling, Kaiyuan, and recover the Liaodong Great Wall in the north, and the other half to go east along the Hun River to recover Fushun."
"If we can regain the city of Saarhu on this basis, it will be enough to severely damage Lao Nu."
"As for the Liaoyang and Kuandian roads, considering the terrain of the eastern part with high mountains and dense forests and rugged roads, we should still attack steadily and use five-pound cannons to knock down the stone forts built by the captives one by one."
"At present, Liaoshen and Zhenjiang have abundant military rations. Even if they fight for a year, they still have capital. The old slave can't afford it."
At this point, Xiong Tingbi actually explained the tactics in great detail, so everyone couldn't help but nod in approval.
Zhu Youjian also knew that this was the safest and most reliable tactic. After all, the flying dragon would ride on the enemy's face, fortify the stronghold, and win the battle by fighting stupidly. There was really no need to risk too much and go deep into Hetuala.
"Jingsuo, I have a question..."
Suddenly, someone spoke, and Zhu Youjian, Xiong Tingbi, and everyone looked around, and what they saw was Hong Chengchou bowing.
"General Hong, feel free to ask questions." Zhu Youjian was very concerned about Hong Chengchou's opinions. After all, apart from what happened after Hong Chengchou was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou's ability in history was definitely among the top three in the Chongzhen Dynasty.
, it is not an exaggeration to even say that it is the first.
Lu Xiangsheng died early in the battle, Yuan Keli was also refrigerated, and Sun Chuanting was imprisoned...
The potential of these people has not been realized, and their historical achievements are naturally not as good as Hong Chengchou's.
"The official thought that based on Lao Nu's past military tactics, he might use his light cavalry to go around the mountain roads and take advantage of our army's artillery to arrive at the front line to make a detour in the rear and disrupt our army's deployment."
Hong Chengchou accurately said that Nurhaci might implement a tactic of avoiding fighting against the Ming army's artillery. As soon as this tactic was proposed, everyone became wary of it.
Only Xiong Tingbi and Zhu Youjian had already guessed that Nurhaci might do this, so they made preparations in advance.
Zhu Youjian answered Hong Chengchou's question and said:
"When the war begins, the Four Cavalry Guards will be stationed in Guangning. Once they discover that Jianlu has taken a detour and entered our Liao territory, they will attack overnight and encircle and suppress this army with the troops stationed in various places."
"In addition, Liaoyang, Shenyang and other food routes that are most likely to be disrupted will follow the army by water. If the situation goes bad, the artillery on the grain transport ship will fire, so there is no need to worry."
"If this is the case, then I will have no doubts about it." Hong Chengchou also withdrew his bow after hearing Zhu Youjian and Xiong Tingbi's arrangement.
"Do you still have questions?" Zhu Youjian glanced at everyone and asked, but no one answered the question.
To put it bluntly, it was because the tactics of this battle were very simple, because every troop that came out was the main force, and they were more than Nurhachi could eat in one go.
So no one had any objections at all, and when Zhu Youjian saw this scene, he also stated the route he and Xiong Tingbi had re-drawn:
"The Battle of Fu Liao is divided into four routes, Shenyang occupies two routes, and Daning is unable to defend itself."
"The Ninth Battalion of the Zhejiang Army is under the command of General Qi Jin, the Ninth Battalion of the Shenyang Army is under the control of Xiong Jinglue, and the Sixth Battalion of the Liao Army is under the control of General He Shixian. These twenty-four battalions are stationed outside the North City of Shenyang..."
"In addition, the 11th Battalion of Yang Wenyue General Headquarters, Wu Aheng General Headquarters and other 11th Battalions were also stationed outside the North City of Shenyang. This road was the first road and belonged to General Xiong Jinglue. The 35th Battalion was responsible for the northern expedition to Puhe, the destruction of the railway, and the restoration of Kaiyuan.
Soldiers, one hundred and six thousand people."
"The second route is led by General Sun Chuanting, who controls the headquarters of Sun Yingyuan and General Cao Wenzhao. The 13th Battalion of the Three Guards, with more than 56,000 people, sets out from the east of Shenyang, breaks Fushun, and waits for an opportunity to regain Sasha.
Erhu, if you can't recover it, don't force it."
"The third route of troops is led by General Hong Chengchou's headquarters, controlled by the Sixth Battalion of General Youshigong's Headquarters, and the fourth battalion of General Ma Xianglin's Headquarters. A total of 19 battalions, with more than 57,000 people, march eastward via the Taizi River in Liaoyang.
, recapture Qinghe Fort and join forces at Crow Que Pass."
"The fourth group of soldiers and horses..." Speaking of this group of soldiers and horses, Zhu Youjian looked at Qin Liangyu, who was sitting on a chair and was five feet, two and three inches tall with a well-proportioned figure.
Although she is nearly fifty years old, she can still be seen as the kind of heroic figure she was when she was young.
"Mrs. Qin, I want you and General Qin Bangping to command the troops of the fourth line together. What do you think?"
Zhu Youjian used the self-titled "I" to express closeness, and even used the title "you" to express respect.
Such a gesture made Qin Liangyu feel a little restless, so he quickly stood up and bowed in return:
"Your Highness has arranged this, so why should I be dissatisfied? My brother has been fighting Jianlu for two years, so he is naturally more familiar with it than the old woman. This fourth group of troops should be under my brother's control."
Qin Liangyu was not being polite, but she felt that this should be the arrangement.
Seeing her serious look, Zhu Youjian understood that this was not a joke, so he said to Qin Bangping:
"Old General Qin, the fourth route consists of the Seventh Battalion of Liaodong troops from the headquarters of the three generals Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu, and Qin Minping, as well as the two battalions of Sichuan troops from the headquarters of the old general, and the six battalions of Sichuan troops under the command of Mrs. Qin. The fifteenth battalion is recorded.
More than 45,000 people marched northward via Kuandian and met up with the Third Army at Crowque Pass."
"General, take your orders!" Qin Bangping stood up and bowed solemnly, and the other generals also stood up and bowed after hearing this.
From this, four lines of soldiers and horses, a total of three guards and eighty-two battalions, and more than 265,000 soldiers and horses, were formed.
Behind them, there are the Liaodong Tenth Battalion, the Daning Three Guards and the Four Cavalry Guards to protect the rear, a total of nearly 70,000 troops.
However, this is a mobilization of troops and horses, so it will not be discussed.
To be continued...
